1987 Buick Riviera T-Type review from Germany
"A car ahead of its time!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air condition cooling is not working, which is not too bad here in Germany.
Needed a new alternator and battery.
New ignition coils.
General comments?
A great performance car, even here in Germany!
GCC computer touch screen is great and pure science fiction for a 1987 car.
Front wheel drive with the tuned touring suspension is great even in winter.
This car is as exotic as an Rolls Royce Phantom here in Munich, Bavaria, Germany!
Usually I drive 82 MPH on the autobahn cruise controlled.
When I get 21 MPG.
Performance is even better since the use of Shell super premium 99 octane fuel with lower emissions too, that is very important here!
